Long-Term Trends and Interannual Variability of Wind Forcing, Surface Circulation, and Temperature around the Sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Islands

Remote Sensing, 2022
In the Southern Ocean, the sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Islands (PEIs) play a significant ecological role by hosting large populations of seasonally breeding marine mammals and seabirds, which are particularly sensitive to changes in the surrounding ocean

The dynamical balance, transport and circulation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current [PDF]

, 2004
The physical ingredients of the ACC circulation are reviewed. A picture of thecirculation is sketched by means of recent observations of the WOCE decade.

Real-time Reconstruction of Surface Velocities from Satellite Observations in the Alboran Sea

Remote Sensing, 2020
Surface currents in the Alboran Sea are characterized by a very fast evolution that is not well captured by altimetric maps due to sampling limitations. On the contrary, satellite infrared measurements provide high resolution synoptic images of the ocean

A conceptual view on inertial internal waves in relation to the subinertial flow on the central west Florida shelf

Scientific Reports, 2018
The study reported here focuses on inertial internal wave currents on the west Florida midshelf in 50 m depth. In situ observations showed that the seasonal shifts in stratification change both the frequency range of inertial internal waves and their ...

Gravity currents in rotating, wedge-shaped, adverse channels [PDF]

, 2013
Results are presented from a series of parametric experimental and analytical studies of the behaviour of dense gravity currents along rotating, up-sloping, wedge-shaped channels.

Enhancement of wind-driven upwelling and downwelling by alongshore bathymetric variability [PDF]

, 2002
Steady wind-driven flow along a shelf of changing width is described with a frictional barotropic model valid in the limit of small Rossby and Burger number.

Baroclinic geostrophic adjustment in a rotating circular basin [PDF]

, 2004
Baroclinic geostrophic adjustment in a rotating circular basin is investigated in a laboratory study. The adjustment process consists of a linear phase before advective and dissipative effects dominate the response for longer time. This work describes in

On Constraining the Mesoscale Eddy Energy Dissipation Time‐Scale

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022
A physically plausible lower bound on the spatially varying geostrophic mesoscale eddy energy dissipation time‐scale within the ocean, related to the geographical energy transfer rate out of the geostrophic mesoscales, is provided by means of a simple ...

Zonal shear and super-rotation in a magnetized spherical Couette flow experiment [PDF]

, 2011
We present measurements performed in a spherical shell filled with liquid sodium, where a 74 mm-radius inner sphere is rotated while a 210 mm-radius outer sphere is at rest. The inner sphere holds a dipolar magnetic field and acts as a magnetic propeller

Seasonal Variability of the Labrador Current and Shelf Circulation off Newfoundland [PDF]

, 2008
Three-dimensional finite element models were established for the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelf to investigate climatological monthly mean wind- and density-driven circulation.
